♪ sixty-second water clone [voice]

[ninthserenade]

Pop quiz, Vat! Who has two thumbs and finally got off his butt and finished something major? This guy! It took me 'bout two months to get everything all finalized and junk with the locals but I got my own little shop right smack against the barrier so you can see all the fish! S'taking the place of that old music shop that used to be here 'til it got wrecked when the kraken attacked so I'm just really pickin' the slack up with a little Demyx-twist.

_{[He pauses for effect, then laughs a little.]}

'sides from teaching you guys how to play music or even just leasing the stuff out, I can teach a little bit of magic on the sides. Course it's within moderation cuz I'm still pretty knew at the whole teaching scene, bu~t! Everyone's gotta start somewhere, yeah? Just look for Nocturne No. 9 over in the middle district. I rigged the place up to have a big ol' aquarium that goes through the floor 'n into a bigger one along the back wall so if you got any doubts 'bout it being the right place just keep that in mind, kay? I, uh... Jus' feel free to drop by whenever y'want!

[//Filtered to Faris]

Hey, so... That 'date', y'wanna do that today?

[ninthserenade]

Yeah! Didn't anyone tell you? Y'were here before! Loads of times! _{Actually, I can't remember if you were here when I got this scar on my face or not, but I know Axel was ages ago...}

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

L-loads of times...

[Sorry man, this is kind of ruining any 'good to see you.']

I don't remember.

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Maaaan, that kinda sucks.

...What's the last thing you remember from home?

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Somehow he's pretty sure he remembers events later than Demyx does.]

Um... Does that matter?

Re: [Video]

[ninthserenade]

Nah, I was just curious.

_{[Everyone remembers later events compared to him. He had to find out from Riku about the castle being gone a year ago.]}

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

What's the last thing you remember?

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Er... Hollow Bastion. Sora.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Oh. [So, everything.]

I'm- sorry about that. [Considering he was kind of there, too.]

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Dude, don't sweat it anymore. I've had over a year to get over it, yanno? I even kinda made, uh... Ammends with Sora when he was first here ages ago.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[...well, being able to make amends with Sora doesn't surprise him that much. It's Sora.]

Over a year-- You've been here that long?

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Yup. Year 'n a half now. I got this scar uh... 'bout six months ago? Maybe a little longer.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas almost asks how he got it, but... a scar probably isn't from a fun story to tell.]

W-well... Anyway, it's good to see you again.

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Ditto, dude. S'been awhile.

_{[A beat.]}

But, uh, yeah. I got a shop now. I was messin' with the idea since Lea opened up his own place.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

I guess if you're gonna have one, it should be for music.

[Admittedly he finds the idea of Demyx as any kind of shopkeeper a little strange, but. A lot can happen in a year and a half?]

What- kind of place does Lea have?

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

I know, right? 'n since the last one got wrecked up I figured 'why not?'

_{[A small laugh and he reaches off screen, then pulls a piece of paper up so he can push the logo into the frame.]}

A restaurant! It's a pretty darn good one!

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

I hope it does well.

[Roxas blinks at the paper and, well, he hasn't met Lea yet so he's trying to imagine someone who looks like Axel running a restaurant...]

...you mean he cooks?

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Yeah! He's been teaching me too! _{Except I don't think having noodles catch fire when they're in the kettle was one of the lessons...}

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas stifles a laugh. Barely.]

Shouldn't you- be better at not setting things on fire?

[How do you even do that? Don't you put noodles in water?]

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Oh man, don't even get me started on the time I set an entire kitchen on fire. Apparently water 'n grease fires is a really bad idea.

_{[They still caught fire. He doesn't know how.]}

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Axel must've been proud.

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

I'm not even sure if he was here. Wait, wait--I think he was? I was tryin' to help someone out though 'n things kinda. Blew up.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Blew up?

[Since we're talking about kitchen fires, he's not sure if you mean this literally or figuratively.]

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Yup. I tossed one of my clones on the pan thing and it just kinda...

_{[He makes some hand gestures, fingers wiggling to mimic the fire.]}

Fwoomp.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

...well, I guess you survived anyway.

Re: [Video]

[ninthserenade]

Eyebrows were kinda burnt but yeah!
